To keep healthy honey bees, inspections of the brood chamber and the food storage are important. This evaluation cannot be done just by checking if the bees are flying or not. The hive needs to be opened, and an internal evaluation of the actual situation needs to be done. This is to be able to take the right measures that will support the development of the colony.
